ITED and ITUR tele­communications design

The ITED design defines the telecommunications infrastructure inside a building (conduits, cables, cabinets and outlets) and ITUR that of urban developments, according to ANACOM rules. We design ITED and ITUR infrastructure for buildings, analysing connectivity and scalability requirements.

What we do

End-to-end telecommunications

We develop complete electronic telecommunications infrastructure designs for all types of buildings.

ITED

Designs for new buildings and refurbishments, covering all mandatory technologies — copper pairs, coaxial cable, optical fibre.

ITUR

Telecommunications infrastructure designs for housing developments and building complexes.

Structured data networks

Sizing and design of Cat. 6A/Cat. 7 LAN networks, fibre-optic backbone, racks and technical rooms.

Wi-Fi coverage

Radio-frequency coverage studies, access-point placement and controller sizing.

Internal communication

Intercoms, video door entry systems, nurse-call systems and digital signage.

Security infrastructure

Cabling and network points for IP CCTV, access control and intrusion detection.

Our process

From analysis to acceptance

We follow the ITED/ITUR process, verifying the applicable requirements at each stage.

01

Requirements gathering

We identify the required services, the number of users, bandwidth requirements and the technologies to support.

02

Infrastructure sizing

We calculate cable-route capacity, the number of outlets per technology, and the size of racks and technical rooms.

03

ITED/ITUR design

We prepare the design in accordance with the ANACOM manual, with all the required written and drawn documents.

04

Complementary networks

We design data networks, Wi-Fi and communication systems that complement the ITED scope.

05

Coordination and site support

We coordinate with all disciplines, follow the installation and take part in acceptance testing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about ITED and ITUR design

Is an ITED design mandatory?

Yes, for new buildings and for alteration works subject to a licence or prior notification, under Decree-Law no. 123/2009. The design follows the ANACOM ITED Manual and is prepared by a designer registered with ANACOM.

What is ITUR?

It is the equivalent of ITED for urban developments and plots: the telecommunications infrastructure of the development, from the public network to the entrance of each building.

What does the ITED design of a house include?

The written description, plans with conduits and outlets, the individual telecommunications cabinet and the connection to public networks, according to the ITED Manual in force.

How much does an ITED design cost?

It depends on the size and type of building, the scope required and the level of detail. We prepare the proposal after receiving the documents (architecture and type of building or development), to make sure what we propose fits what you need.

How do I request a proposal or contact you?

You can request a quote or an online consultation in the Client Room, write to geral@afazerescuriosos.pt, call +351 21 145 1077, message us on WhatsApp or book a preliminary call to frame your request.
